Hi,
This contest is for a logo for exciting young company, DV Networks. - see http://www.dv-networks.com - this site is waiting to be replaced by a more professional one. The company competes for business with larger established companies and as such needs a strong logo.
DV Networks is an infrastructure software company that has developed a caching solution, enabling ISPs to save 50% on bandwidth costs by intelligently delivering content that is requested repeatedly. (Meaning that if a certain movie is downloaded 100X, the ISP only has to fetch it from outside the local network once - all further requests can be served locally. So you get cost savings for the ISP and much better performance for the ISP's subscribers.) DV comes from 'déjà vu' because the technology is expert at optimizing the delivery of content it has seen before.
The logo will be the beginning of a new look for the company. It should convey a solid company with an innovative twist. We would like the design to be professional but a little bit fun as well.
We will leave colors up to the designers, but we favor something with 2-3 colors, at least one of them somewhat bright.
The logo need not contain the Name DV Networks - but we will want a version with the name beside the logo as well as one with the name below the logo. We are planning to use a tagline like: 'optimizing broadband traffic' if you can provide a design that shows how that will work - that would be perfect.
The audience of DV Networks customers is made up of Tech-savvy managers at ISPs, Universities, and large IT organizations.
Ideas that the logo can convey:
- Optimization
- Simple Solution
- Solid Solution
- Traffic Management
We don't have a list of logos that we like, but here are websites of several companies in related fields. We want to convey an image similar to the images that these ones convey (but better, of course...)
http://www.p-cube.com/indexold.shtml
http://www.radware.com/
http://www.iamba.com/
http://www.tmt3.com/
http://www.jungo.com/
We will need all of the usual file formats - including JPEG, transparent background GIF, BMP or similar for printing etc.
Based on past experience we would like to run this contest for about 7 days and then choose the 2-3 best designs for a short second round.
Initial entries should be received by January 14, 2005. We plan to announce a winner by January 19, 2005.
Thanks for your participation!
